Sad and Happy

[Jennifer and Jack]

I don't know if this is even the right place to post this but since the reason for it is Jack I guess it is okay.  My health has just been horrible lately and I have not been able to take Jack for his long walks. We always walk miles a day, we stop and greet people, other dogs and play and sniff. Since November I have not been able to do this

I don't care for me but I care for Jack.. I love it so much, it makes me so sad that I couldn't do it. One of my friends recommended a long time ago to get a motor scooter like what I use in the stores so I could walk him.

 

I resisted so much the idea because I kept thinking I was going to get better but I just am not.. So I went ahead and ordered a scooter. It will be here today. I should be so happy because I want so badly to take Jack out, to go on our trails to walk and to play but I don't know if I can get past the humilation of a 38 year old women riding around in one..

 

I am trying to work my nerve up to do it. Jack deserves a walk and I deserve to enjoy  the pleasure of seeing him walk.

 

I just feel sad that my life has come to this. Hopefully it won't last and I will get better quickly... Now you know how much I love my baby.. I would rather eat poop than draw that kind of attention to myself.

 

wish us luck... we are going to go walking../riding

Adrianne, you make me laugh so hard, the top part is all seat, the bottom part does hold metal I think... In keeping things light, I am going to look for a sun shade so I can cruise around in the hot summer and not get burned.. who knows by then I may be better

[Adrianne Matzkin]

check to see if a magnet sticks to the back. I may have just the right doodle art for it!

Jennifer I love your scooter and I am glad that we have the technology now days to make it possible for you to take Jack for an outting!!  I'll bet he LOVED it!! Sounds like you did too!!

 

I have enjoyed reading your posts and seeing how much you and Jack love each other and how well you care for him. I'm sorry that you had an unpleasant experience on DK. Please know that THAT person does not speak for all of us!!  If possible, try to let it go and enjoy your new freedom!!

I recently saw a Dog Whisperer show where he trained a man to walk his beagle using his scooter.  He was the hit of the neighborhood, and the dog absolutely loved it.  I thought it really looked like fun.  I'm thinking you and Jack can have a great new adventure!

I'll fess up - I'm the person that sent Jennifer the note.  It was not ever meant to hurt her feelings, in fact I hoped to spare her feelings because I didn't want someone to say what I said in a public way.  If that makes me a bad, mean person then think what you will. 

[Adrianne Matzkin]

Knowing it was you, I KNOW you had the best of intentions!! You just didn't want Jennifer to be hurt!!!

I should not have sent her a note - it is one of those deals where you struggle with it.  I did send her a note back and say that I was sorry if I hurt her feelings and THEN I see that she is writing about it.  Case made.

[Jennifer and Jack]

I still don't get it.. just call me dumb then. I posted because you said other ppl were saying the same thing as you, so I wanted to know what other ppl thought.

 

This is insane... Is Jane immune to being insensitive? Am I missing something?
